“It’s important for us to be a sustainable company because we are at the intersection and the impact zone of water and energy reduction for customers’ hot water needs.”

This product meets a stringent set
of our company’s internally defined
sustainability standards.
To create sustainable products, it takes dedication, rigid adherence to best practices and a relentless passion for making the world a better place. So we’ve incorporated sustainable thinking into our Product Development Process (PDP). Along the way, we’ve developed some visual methods for helping homeowners and business owners find the products that will reduce their environmental impact and support their own sustainability goals.
Every new product we design will go through our Product Development Process based on industry best practices. Early in the PDP, we gather key representatives from our R&D, Sourcing, Manufacturing and other teams for Sustainability Strategy Sessions. In these sessions, our teams consider eight factors focusing on the product’s impact on the environment, and four on its social impact.
Before any new idea makes it through the PDP, we consider its production, its use and its end of life—and our sustainability strategy wheel helps us explore ways to integrate sustainability into the final product.
